Living Well Series
The physicians and staff at the Longstreet Cancer Center believe in order to have complete wellness, we should focus on mind, body and spirit. The Living Well Series is made up of activities and sessions aimed at helping individuals focus on positive aspects of life. We strive to nurture and care for the person as a whole. All programs are free and we encourage our patients to participate. Programs are open to people at any stage in their cancer experience: from diagnosis, through treatment, post-treatment and survivorship.Yoga
Christ Centered Yoga fuses biblical study with hatha yoga for a uniquely soulful experience. People of all faiths and beliefs are welcome. Classes are taught multiple times a month in the LCC waiting area. Breathing exercises also are conducted in the chemotherapy infusion suite.
Nutrition
This class demonstrates to patients and survivors the simple steps they can take to eat healthier. Registered dietitian Mary Ann Clever, RD, LD, CDE, discusses topics such as sodium intake, increasing fiber and adding fruits and vegetables to your diet, as well as label-reading tips such as watching out for different types of fats.
